I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

374 Persuasion

“Face it calmly?

As soon as Chi Songzi said this, the Fourth Prince immediately wanted to smash the teacup in his hand at his head. Then, he would get someone to drag this old priest out and chop him up!

However, after seeing Pei Qian signal him to calm down, he suppressed his anger.

“That’s right. Your future is something that mortals can’t compare to. Anyone of such noble status will have to suffer unbearable pain. Only by tempering oneself thousands of times can one become the rightful ruler.”

Chi Songzi stroked his long beard, like an expert who knew everything.

His words actually piqued the Fourth Prince’s interest. After all, the honorable position he was talking about…

He was thinking of the same thing.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Prince was willing to listen to Chi Songzi continue, so he said, “You make it sound nice, but is there a way to treat my illness?!

Even if you’re right and I obtain an honorable position in the future, that’s still in the future!

If news of my hidden illness spreads, I’ll only become a laughing stock!”

Chi Songzi looked up at the Fourth Prince calmly as he enticed him, “I’m not that talented, but there’s still a way for me to treat your illness.”

The Fourth Prince didn’t expect Chi Songzi to say that he could treat his illness without even taking his pulse. The Fourth Prince was in disbelief, but he was also looking forward to it.

Chi Songzi’s bluff actually appeased the Fourth Prince.

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Pei Qian didn’t stay here. He wasn’t worried that Chi Songzi would betray him. After all, he had a way to keep Chi Songzi in check. If Chi Songzi did anything wrong, there would naturally be people around to make him behave.

After leaving the room calmly, Pei Qian went to look for Zhou Hengchang, who was still guarding the courtyard door.

Pei Qian explained the Fourth Prince’s condition to Zhou Hengchang. Then, despite Zhou Hengchang’s strange expression, he continued, “I found that priest to comfort the Fourth Prince.

“Keep an eye on him these few days. It’s best if he stays in the courtyard. If he wants to go out, arrange for someone to guard him and satisfy his requests. If he causes trouble, just teach him a lesson.”

Pei Qian couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to stay in Duke Huai Yang’s ministry for the next few days, so he had to instruct Zhou Hengchang, who had been guarding this place for a long time.

Zhou Hengchang froze for a long time before he came back to his senses from the shocking news. After a while, he stammered, “Am I going to get killed?”

The Fourth Prince had a hidden illness…

He finally understood why the Fourth Prince had been acting more and more abnormal these past few days! If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to tolerate such an illness either.

As a prince, it wasn’t easy for him to tolerate this illness for so long.

“Shut up? Don’t let your imagination run wild!” Pei Qian nudged Zhou Hengchang in amusement. Then, he said, “I have other things to deal with recently, so I’ll have to trouble you to deal with the Fourth Prince.”

Zhou Hengchang heaved a sigh of relief. Actually, he wasn’t really afraid or worried. He just felt that this matter was a little beyond his imagination.

While Pei Qian was instructing Zhou Hengchang, Chi Songzi had already appeased the Fourth Prince. After keeping the Fourth Prince hanging for a long time, he finally relented and expressed his willingness to refine pills to treat the Fourth Prince.

In order to prove his abilities, he took out an “immortal pill” that he had prepared long ago and let the Fourth Prince try it.

“This pill can’t cure the illness, but it can relieve the symptoms.” Chi Songzi looked at the Fourth Prince as he said with a profound expression, “If you want to recover, you have to prepare the pill formula for this pill.”

“Immortal Master, feel free to arrange it. If there’s anything you need, just tell me. I’ll definitely cooperate and satisfy you.” When he heard that it could treat his illness, the Fourth Prince naturally agreed.

He instructed Qian He, who was guarding at the side, to call Pei Qian.

After Pei Qian came in and explained everything, he couldn’t wait to get Chi Songzi to go out and prepare. He was afraid that if he was a day slower, it would affect the speed at which the pills were refined.

Pei Qian waited for Qian He to bring Chi Songzi out before saying to the Fourth Prince, “Your Highness, you can believe some of that priest’s words, but you can’t believe everything he said. After all…”

“Although that priest seems strange, he’s quite capable.” Before Pei Qian could finish, the Fourth Prince interrupted him excitedly and continued, “You were right previously. At this moment, even slim hope is better than nothing.

Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I won’t be fooled by him.

“When my condition improves, I’ll listen to your arrangements, Song Tao.”

“In that case, I’m relieved. Actually, apart from this matter, there are two other things I need your help with.” Pei Qian didn’t intend to spend any more effort on this matter. Seeing that the Fourth Prince had fallen into his trap, he changed the topic to something else.

“What is it?” Seeing how serious Pei Qian was, the Fourth Prince naturally didn’t dare to be careless.

“It’s about the Cold Food Festival,” Pei Qian said straightforwardly. Seeing the Fourth Prince ask, he explained to the Fourth Prince, “In the past, General Gao was the chief priest. However, since you’re in the northern region this year, I think it’s more appropriate for you to be the chief priest.”

“It’s that complicated?” When the Fourth Prince heard Pei Qian’s long introduction, he felt a little troubled.

Actually, it wasn’t that he couldn’t endure hardship, but his mood had been unstable recently, so he was worried that if anything went wrong, he would ruin things.

“Your Highness, the Cold Food Festival is a big deal in the northern region. It’s held to worship those heroes who fought for the country and died on the battlefield.” Pei Qian knew why the Fourth Prince didn’t want to get involved in this matter, but he pretended not to know and continued to explain calmly, “It will be very helpful to improving your reputation in the northern region.”
